What a crazy crazy crazy trip!!!!!!! I love all the pohtos, but the beautifuler are those with the lavander! It is real you, all, have made the same trip in 1991? Which of the friends are you? (Sorry, I always see your pics plenty of landscapes, so here, in the middle of many men, I am not sure if I can recognize you!). I thought you were a bicycle fan not a motorbyke one!!!! All those rivers, mountains, flowers, skies are great! Thanks for sharing!!! I wish you and your friends many other (crazy!!!!) trips! But... don´t wait 16 years...!!!!

Wonderful tabblo of a terrific adventure! Thank you for taking us along. I love the merged photos of your group 16 years apart. The countryside, the lavender, and the food, and of course the bikes. We toured Provence on (unmotorized) bikes six years ago, I rode up Mt Ventoux -- barely made it, but it was truly worth the effort, and the flying descent ;-)

SUPERBE Sigi, tu es passé tout près de chez moi, nous finirons bien par nous rencontrer, même les montagnes y parviennent au fil des millénaires. Des images qui sentent la lumière le vent le grand air et la lavande, merci, à très bientôt. Thierry

Hallo, lieber Sigi,
einzigartiges tabblo... klasse gemacht. Es sind tolle Bilder von einer sicher noch viel schöneren Tour. Wie gerne wäre ich mit meiner R 850 R mitgefahren... :-)

Herzlichen Gruß von Biker zu Biker!
